Roamin’ Catholics

It’s just crazy that Lent is almost over! Wow!! I hardly made up my mind what I’m going to give up and just like that – Bam! it’s going to be over. 

And like in the previous years – we do fish fry tours throughout the Lent Season. Now come to think of it – maybe that’s why it goes by so fast? We have just the best time every week trying to come up with a place that were going to visit that is serving fish and it’s always a great time. We’ve gotten some pretty good suggestions from others that have been out and about and found some out of the way places to visit. We take turns driving every other week with my brother and his wife and it’s safe to say that we just never know where we’ll end up! 

This weeks fish fry on our Roamin’ Catholic tour was to head south east to a school in Strawberry Point Iowa. The school puts on a fish fry every year and it’s to raise money for things that they need. This years funds from the fish fry are going to new wresting mats and by the look of the crowd when we got there, I’m thinking that they were pretty successful in their fundraising. I had to laugh because one of the guys at our table where we were eating at asked us – where are you from? and then the next question was ‘how did you end up here? I think they knew we weren’t part of the local crowd. 

So now with only one more week left for Lent, it’ll soon be time for us to think about what we should be making ourselves on Friday nights. Humm.. I think they serve fish all year round in our town. Now that’s a great idea too!
